               Appeal No.  2006-2534                                                                                                  
               Application No.  10/789,411                                                                                            


                       Therefore, to the extent claimed, Carlson describes every feature of claim 1 including the                     
               plate attached to the end surfaces of the rotor core laminations such that an axial deflection of the                  
               laminations is allowed.  In view of the discussion above, we find that Carlson does disclose all                       
               the claimed limitations and therefore, prima facie anticipates the claimed subject matter.                             
               Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 102 rejection of claim 1, as well as claim 15, argued together as                         
               one group, over Carlson is sustained.                                                                                  
                                                          CONCLUSION                                                                  
                       In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1 and 15 under                         
               35 U.S.C. § 102 is affirmed.                                                                                           




















                                                                  6
